There were thoughts that De Gea could be leaving Old Trafford this summer as his contract expires on June 30th but The Athletic have reported that he has signed a new contract with the club but at a wage cut of £375,000 per week.

However, the club then backed out of this deal and are now contemplating offering him an even lower salary with reported interest for the player coming from Saudi Arabia.

De Gea has now appeared to make an allusion to the situation by posting a single yawning emoji on Twitter with no context to what it was about.

The post has sparked a mixed reaction from supporters of the famous club with many feeling the player deserved more respect for the loyalty that he showed to the team.

De Gea has played more than 500 games for United and won their Player of the Year award four times.
